[X-Post] Reliance WiMax
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me. What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes 2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even. Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers! Pradeepto -- The KDE Project : http://www.kde.org KDE India : http://in.kde.org Mailing List : http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-india
